Did you know that we have quite a few exquisite puzzles for book lovers featuring reading and books?
Most of us here at Artifact Puzzles enjoy reading in our free time. A couple of us even listen to audiobooks while working on your puzzles instead of music! So you know we love puzzles that feature books or are literary related!
In no particular order, here is a list of our puzzles that feature books!

1. Tea Bath
This is one of our newest literary puzzles. The relaxation of reading a great book while taking a hot bath is unmatched. The only thing that is missing in this tea bath are bubbles for a bubble bath!

Did you know that every animal depicted in this artwork is based on a literary work? It's true! This piece of work was originally made as a mural for a library, so the literary references are numerous. Can you figure out which book each animal is from? Read an interview with the artist about this artwork.

This artwork reminds us of when you have to haul your stack of books back to the library! This painting was commissioned by Artifact Puzzles from the painter Kevin Sloan.

There is never enough time in the day to read as much as you want. The puzzle features an edge that looks like the sides of books! This painting by Kevin Sloan inspired us to commission Migration of Knowledge.

This is the counter part to Word Travels South. This one has 19 whimsies that represent famous books! Can you figure out which 19 books they represent? Here's the legend.

Connaissance means knowledge in French, this charming artwork is by the French painter Isabelle Plante. This stack of books features works by great thinkers. So we included some of their silhouettes as puzzle pieces! Here's a legend.

This small and delightful Carl Larsson puzzle reminds us of reading outside in a park on a sunny day. Something to look forward to as we brave the spring storms! It has split tendril connector pieces for some added flair.

This puzzle is so detailed. No matter where you zoom in you can find something to look at, from the two-headed vulture to neon mice! Not to mention the beautiful colors! Holy cow! Artifact Puzzles commissioned this artwork from Aaron Wolf.

Our whimsies add to the book-iness!

When you finally find a comfortable position, you can read for hours. Just a warning, this puzzle features split tendril pieces and is incredibly hard! The detailed art is by the contemporary British miniaturist Jethro Buck who uses traditional Indian miniature techniques to capture modern life.
